Re: PNW Pit shipping to worlds

We also have access to a much larger trailer that could likely hold 4-6 teams worth of pits. If each team pitched in for gas and such, then it may be worth it.

Is anyone else doing this?

Are any PNW teams interested in this option? Nothing is set in stone yet, we are still trying to figure out what to do.
One option we've considered is shipping our Pit stuff in a separate crate to St. Louis. Generally, because money is an issue, we ship only what is required (Robot, tools) plus whatever else we can fit in the single crate. It isn't the most elegant solution, nor is it preferred, but it's what we have to work with.
